  • Yup, my father drives semi’s hauling cargo, and he’s seen and told me of the number of horrific accidents that happen. We live in the same city and if he tells me of a recent accident he’s seen, it almost never is reported through the news, but that could be biased since I don’t search all of the news sites for it. But when a semi ploughs through a line of cars, killing several people on the freeway that were stopped from a previous accident ahead of them, I would expect to see it on most local stations…but it wasn’t. Similar accident with long team haulers, driver fell asleep at wheel hit another semi from behind, destroyed the truck killing both, my father said as he drove by the accident he could see body parts strewn along the road. So, so many stories.

    PS all this has me extreme vigilant and paranoid when driving around semi’s on the freeway, especially those people who can’t pass a semi and just hang out next to them matching their speed when I’m trying to get around them too

    Even better is when the parents do it. I wasn’t present, but the conversation was about my parents’ marriage, my sister-in-law did the mathing and realized my birth date (I’m the first child) and their marriage date were less than 9 months apart. In my family and social circle, sex out of wedlock is quite looked down on. When she vocalized this, the subject was changed very quickly and brushed aside.

    I was curious too. This is my best guess,

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_disaster

    The reactor crew could ascertain only that the radiation levels were somewhere above 0.001 R/s (3.6 R/h), while the true levels were vastly higher in some areas.

    Because of inaccurate low readings, reactor crew chief Aleksandr Akimov assumed that the reactor was intact. The evidence of pieces of graphite and reactor fuel lying around the building was ignored, and the readings of another dosimeter brought in by 04:30 were dismissed under the assumption that the new dosimeter must have been defective.

    Note the name Akimov in the post.
